Front line demonstration is an appropriate means for demonstration as well as the transfer of improved agricultural innovation to the farming community. Krishi Vigyan Kendra Shajapur has conducted a front line demonstration in farmer’s field during 2013-14 to 2018-19, in all 45 demonstrations on the Green gram to transfer the latest technology among the farmers of Shajapur district. The result revealed that the highest green gram yield was obtained in demonstrated plot with an average of 7.98 qt/ha compared to 5.89 qt/ha in farmer’s practice. Higher average net return (` 33274/ha) was obtained in the demonstration plots compared to farmers’ practice plot (` 23003.66/ha). The average B:C ratio was calculated 3.39 in demonstrated plot compared to 2.77 in farmer’s plot. This can be attributed to improved technology as well as improved varieties. The yield level was considerably low under local practices because of considerable variation in the extent of adoption of recommended practices depending upon the amount of risk involved in terms of cost convenience, skill and knowledge about the concerned practices. The productivity was better over local practices under demonstration. Hence, Green gram production technology has a broad scope for increasing the area and production of Green gram.

Chickpea (gram) is one of the most important legumes largely utilized in India and plays a vital role in improving the soil fertility with addition of nitrogen through biological nitrogen fixation. In Punjab, Gram accounts for only 0.02 per cent of area and 0.03 per cent of production of the country. However, the average yield in Amritsar district is 12.61 qha-1, which is substantially lower. There is great scope for increasing the productivity of chickpea, especially in Amritsar region. Keeping in view this fact, seventy one front line demonstrations were planned by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Amritsar on the improved cultural practices of gram for 5 consecutive years from 2009-10 to 2013-14. The present investigation was carried out across 38 villages in Amritsar (Punjab). Prevailing farmer’s practices were considered as control for comparison with recommended cultural practices for gram. An about of Rs. 16503 was received as net profit under improved practices as compared to Rs. 11645 in farmer’s practice. B: C ratio was 1.27 to 2.02 in demonstrations and in control was 1.11 to 1.77. The conducting the front line demonstrations with improved technologies, yield and net profit from gram crop can be improved to a considerable extent of the farming community.
